Who would believe The Blade taking the editorial position that our esteemed Mayor exhibits both, "arrogance and imperiousness".<br /><br />Evidently Carty's pandering to JRB over the years is no longer of any account. The Blade has evidently decided to change horses, and Carty is now to be thrown under the bus.Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-65556251390832553602009-04-23T12:52:00.000-04:002009-04-23T12:52:00.000-04:00This clear bias is just one more nail in the coffi...This clear bias is just one more nail in the coffin of the "dinosaur" media. The local TV stations, for the most part have too much "fluff" in their coverage, very little hard news, almost nothing critical of local government, nothing critical of other media. If it were not for talk radio, the internet and few other outlets, one of America's Newspapers would be just another house organ for the strong editor form of government!Romanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016139270835685661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-85216826159712490832009-04-23T09:33:00.000-04:002009-04-23T09:33:00.000-04:00Well, Hooda - you know how nature abhors a vacuum....Well, Hooda - you know how nature abhors a vacuum...LOL.<br /><br />WSPD has become a watchdog but that role has traditionally belonged to newspapers, and they're failing at it which has also contributed to their decline.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-79914507146697259222009-04-23T09:30:00.000-04:002009-04-23T09:30:00.000-04:00Maggie,
